我国学者提出粲粒子研究新建议

 据全国粲粒子物理讨论会获悉,中科院学部委员何祚庥以及张肇西,张长春等,对北京谱仪在J/φ能区之外的粲粒子研究提出多项物理建议,包括D_s和D介子（即φ（4160）与φ（3770）衰变产物）、φ（3685）共振态衰变、粲重子与τ轻子性质的研究.（1）φ（3685）共振态衰变与胶子球产生.何祚庥教授计算表明,同J/φ衰变相比,φ共振态衰变中胶子球的产额将增加1.5-3倍.因此,φ可能是胶子球研究的理想能区.φ的许多衰变道有待更精确的测量.

 1 北京谱仪（BES）宣布找到ξ粒子证据ξ粒子是1983年,首先被美国的MARK Ⅲ 探测器发现的,通过J/φ衰变产生ξ.J/φ衰变到rξ,（r是光子）,ξ再衰变到K⁺K^-和民K（?）K（?）他们研究J/φ→rK⁺K^-和rK（?）K（?）过程,测量到ξ粒子的质量为2.2GeV,其宽度很窄（只有十几个MeV）.这是一个新粒子,大家十分感兴趣,因此有人猜测这是胶子球,有人说可能是（?）态.但不久,工作在同一个能区的法国探测器DM2扫瞄了2.2GeV附近,研究了J/φ→rK⁺K^-和rK（?）K（?）的过程,都没有发现窄共振的ξ粒子.MARKⅢ,DM2都相继关闭,因而ξ粒子到底是否存在,国际高能物理界都希望北京谱仪（BES）探测器来回答,经过了一年多的认真分析,他们从几百万个J/φ衰变事例中找到了几十个ξ粒子的证据.不但在ξ衰变到K⁺K^-,K（?）K（?）中看到,而且在ηη道中也第一次看到ξ信号.     

混合效应在QCD求和规则下对标量胶球质量的影响

在QCD求和规则的框架下考虑了纯胶球和普通介子态的混合效应对二者质量的影响.在关联函数的构造中,胶子流和夸克流都被认为既和胶球态有耦合,也和夸克态有耦合.利用QCD低能定理,构造了一个混合关联函数.通过这些关系及两共振态近似,得出了0⁺⁺胶球和夸克态的质量,它们与各自的纯态的质量相差不大.

The theoretical prediction is in good agreement with the measurements of BES collaboration at BEPC, Beijing and MARK III, which indicates that the mass of the tensor glueball may be around 2.23 GeV.

Belle实验观测到新类粲偶素结构

利用在Υ(nS)(n=1,2,4,5)共振态及其附近采集的大量数据,Belle实验测量了末态中含两个矢量粒子的双光子过程γγ→J/ψ和ωJ/ψ.在这两个过程中,发现了两个窄共振结构X(4350)和X(3915).这两个新结构的性质目前尚不清楚,可能是普通粲偶素粒子,也可能是含一对粲夸克和一对轻夸克的四夸克态,或含一对粲夸克和一个激发胶子的混杂态,或是由其他未知的动力学原因造成的奇特结构.Belle同时发现在γγ→J/ψ过程中,不存在显著的Y(4140)的信号,实验结果与将Y(4140)解释为四夸克态的部分理论预期有较大差异.     

9.5GeV附近的新粒子γ和层子模型的SU(5)扩充

在J/(?)粒子发现后,因SU(3)难于容纳,有人将层子模型理论的对称性从SU(3)扩充到SU(4).三年来的实验,尤其是D、F粒子的发现,证明SU(4)确实是好的方案.一年多之前我们曾提出这样的问题:如再发现窄共振的中性矢量介子怎么办?最近实验上在9.5GeV附近确实发现了新的共振.对这个共振包含有那些粒子,到目前有以下几种分析: (1)在9.54±0.04GeV处有一个新粒子; (2)在9.44±0.03GeV和10.17±0.05GeV处有两个新粒子; (3)在9.40±0.02GeV,9.99±0.05GeV,10.41±0.12GeV处有三个新粒子. 有的资料指出:在9.5GeV附近的共振已经被分辨出来有两个窄峰.如果窄共振

Guided-Wave Two-Dimensional Acousto-Optic Scanner Using Proton-Exchanged Lithium Niobate Waveguide

Two-dimensional scanning of a 0.6328 mum guided-light beam has been realized using noncolinear acousto-optic (AO) coplanar Bragg diffraction together with colinear AO guided-mode to substrate radiation-mode conversion in a Z-cut Xpropagation LiNbO3 proton-exchanged (PE) waveguide. The two surface acoustic (SAW) waves utilized are at the center frequencies of 500 and 200 MHz, propagating in the Y and X axes, respectively. Two-dimensional scanning of approximately 720 resolvable light beam spots, namely, 18 40 (horizontal vertical) scanning, has been demonstrated using a light beam of 1.0 mm aperture. The total number of resolvable beam spots can be greatly increased from 720 by simply utilizing SAW transducers of larger bandwidth and a light beam of greater aperture. It should also be possible to significantly increase the diffraction efficiency from 3 % by optimizing the parameters of the PE waveguide and the SAWs.     

Effect ofγ-radiation on the spectral luminescence characteristics of impure cadmium tungstate crystals

Results of a study of the effect of γ-radiation on the spectral luminescence properties of cadmium tungstate crystals doped with silver, bismuth, and molybdenum cations are presented. Spectral characteristics of the nondnnnoped crystals are briefly described. Absorption and photo and X-ray luminescence spectra of the crystals taken before and after exposure to γ-radiation (5.5·10⁴ Gy) are compared. It is found that the spectral characteristics of the crystals doped with silver, bismuth, and molybdenum cations do not change markedly after the exposure. The relation between the type of impurity-induced defects, individual characteristics of the impurity cations, and the character of the effect of γ-radiation on the spectral luminescence properties of impure crystals is analyzed (preliminarily).

Measurement of nonlinear coefficient of optical fiber based on small chirped soliton transmission

We measure the waveform and phase curves of short optical pulses before and after transmission over different lengths of fibers by use of the pulse analyzer with the frequency-resolved optical gating (FROG),and numerically simulate pulse evolution under the experimental conditions.The nonlinear coefficient of the fiber is given by comparing the experimental results with the numerical ones.Difference between the experiment and numerical simulation is analyzed.     

Resonance scattering of canonical elastic shells in absorbing fluid medium

Resonance scattering of elastic spherical shell and cylindrical shell while the surrounding fluid medium has absorption is studied. The normal mode solution derived using exact elastic theory and the separation of variables is still applicable. However, the scattering form function has to be modified for the absorbing medium, otherwise the unreasonable result would be obtained. The backscattering form function in the absorbing medium is redefined, and the form function of elastic spherical and cylindrical shell with vacuum or solid matter filled is calculated in various absorption conditions. The results show that the absorption of surrounding fluid leads to notable attenuation of the coincidence resonances in the mid-frequency, but it has a little influence on the low-frequency resonance scattering induced by the filler inside the shell.     

Single-beam self-referenced phase-sensitive surface plasmon resonance sensor with high detection resolution

A versatile and low-cost single-beam self-referenced phase-sensitive surface plasmon resonance(SPR)sensing system with ultra-high resolution performance is presented.The system exhibits a root-mean-square phase fluctuation of ±0.0028.over a period of 45 min.i.e.a resolution of±5.2×10-9 refractive index units.The enhanced performance has been achieved through the incorporation of three design elements:a true single-beam configuration enabling complete self-referencing so that only the phase change associated with SPR gets detected,a differential measurement scheme to eliminate spurious signals not related to the sensor response,and the elimination of retardation drifts by incorporating temperature stabilization in the liquid crystal phase modulato .Our design should bring the detection sensitivity of non-labeling SPR biosensing closer to that achievable by conventional fluorescence-based techniques.     

Influences of SiO2 protective layers and annealing on the laser-induced damage threshold of Ta2O5 films

Ta2O5 films are prepared on BK7 substrates with conventional electron beam evaporation deposition.The effects of SiO2 protective layers and annealing on the laser-induced damage threshold (LIDT) of the films are investigated.The results show that SiO2 protective layers exert little influence on the electric field intensity(EFI)distribution,microstructure and microdefect density but increase the absorption slightly.Annealing iS effective on decreasing the microdefect density and the absorption of the films.Both SiO2 protective layers and annealing are beneficial to the damage resistance of the films and the latter is more effective to improve the LIDT.Moreover,the maximal LIDT of Ta2O5 films is achieved by the combination of SiO2 protective layers and annealing.     

A stereo matching algorithm using multi-peak candidate matches and geometric constraints

Gray cross correlation matching technique is adopted to extract candidate matches with gray cross correla- tion coefficients less than some certain range of maximal correlation coefficient called multi-peak candidate matches. Multi-peak candidates are extracted corresponding to three closest feature points at first. The corresponding multi-peak candidate matches are used to construct the model polygon. Correspondence is determined based on the local geometric relations between the three feature points and the multi-peak candidates. The disparity test and the global consistency checkout are applied to eliminate the remaining ambiguous matches that are not removed by the local geometric relational test. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is feasible and accurate.     

Hybrid Wavelength and Code Division Multiple Access in Optical Networks

A review of schemes for multiple access in fiber optic networks shows that a hybrid of wavelength and code division multiple access (WCDMA) combines the best features of both. In particular, the hybrid scheme retains the large information carrying capacity of wavelength division multiple access (WDMA) and flexibility of code division multiple access (CDMA). In this paper WDMA, optical CDMA (OCDMA), and WCDMA networks are discussed. In OCDMA networks, concept of incoherent and coherent coding including inverse decoding and matched filter is introduced. The delay performance of both WDMA and WCDMA networks, under the simple suboptimum access protocols based on cyclic search, is computed. It has been shown quantitatively that tuning delay significantly affects the delay performance of both WDMA and WCDMA networks. Futhermore, delay performance of WCDMA networks is always better than the WDMA networks for the same tuning delay, load, and number of users.     

Fiber Modal Index Measurements Based on Fiber Gratings

A novel method based on fiber gratings for measuring the effective indices of fiber modes is proposed. The effective index difference between the core mode and a cladding mode was obtained by analyzing the interference fringe of a pair of cascaded long-period fiber gratings. In order to extract the core mode index from the measured index difference, an index matching oil immersion method is proposed. By analyzing the interaction between the cladding mode and the oil applied on the cladding surface, the mode order and the effective index of the involved cladding mode might be calculated. Experimental results about the interference fringe shifts induced by the oil index and the oil-applied length are also presented.     

Optical Pulse Compression Schemes That Use Nonlinear Bragg Gratings

Nonlinear optical pulse compression of picosecond pulses typically requires long lengths of optical fiber and multiple components. Periodic structures, such as fiber Bragg gratings, are highly dispersive at wavelengths outside of the photonic bandgap. This implies that such gratings can be used as very short all-fiber compressors. In this paper a number of such compression schemes are reviewed involving uniform and nonuniform fiber Bragg gratings, relying on both soliton and nonsoliton compression principles. Experimental results supporting the corresponding underlying theory are also presented. Finally, an extension of one of the compression schemes is shown, which allows the generation of adjustable high-repetition rate soliton trains.
